    Hi Dennis,<br>
    <br>
    > We are quite safe in Taiwan, with only the navy and the air
    force on high alert. I am aware of the CoC, is there any method that
    the community could do if one person, is not paying attention to a
    real discussion, and keep saying his own country's narrative?<br>
    <br>
    Sorry, I don't understand the acronym CoC but one immediate tool you
    have is to simply send them a link to:<br>
    <br>
    "Information for officials and diplomats of countries and entities
    with disputed territories"<br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Policies_and_other_Documents">https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Policies_and_other_Documents</a>  "<a
href="https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/images/d/d8/DisputedTerritoriesInformation.pdf"
      class="internal" title="DisputedTerritoriesInformation.pdf">Disputed
      Territories</a> " policy document.<br>
    <br>
    I wrote this in 2013.  I think the Borders and boundaries section is
    a little sparse and could do with some re-work but it still makes
    the general points: 1. Using the boundaries of whomever is in
    control, (whether we like them or not), is generally the most useful
    for the most people.  2. If you don't like that, then make and host
    your own map using your own boundaries. OSM is a database not a map.<br>
    <br>
    Thinking further ahead, one thing I'd like to see but have hesitated
    to push as I don't have time to get involved myself is a separate
    OpenStreetMap run/supported boundaries database to host alternative
    sets of boundaries on a strictly neutral basis. Anyone can
    contribute, optionally on an immutable and/or authoritative basis. 
    Anyone can then use it, and if they don't, well, tough.  This meets
    the general OpenStreetMap ethos of not putting obstacles in the way
    of anyone wanting to do something a certain way. It is up to data
    users as to whether is sinks or swims.<br>
    <br>
    Another thing on my wishlist is a more comprehensive approach to
    supporting alternate national (or, more generally but off topic,
    special interest) maps via our main website.  At minimum this can be
    a links to maps on national-level Openstreetmap sites that already
    exist. Trying to be neutral, I think it is a bit unfair to tell
    folks, "go and make your own map", as I have done above, without
    providing some sort of framework to present it to the general world.
    And at a more Machiavellian level, if we de-focus from the de facto
    one true map we have at the moment, there is less incentive to
    demand that it presents a particular view of the world.  Again, we
    are a database not a map.<br>

                          <br>
1.標題講的很明白,關於錯誤的地圖數據,即將台灣島分割出中華人民共和國並將其標註為“中華民國”的這一行為。就事論事。所以我並沒有來錯地方,也不存在所謂的“不清楚為什麼來討論”。<br>
2.這不是政治口號,這是國際上公認的事實,我在一開始就給出了依據。我不是故意來“引戰”,我所說的會讓你慢慢見證。<br>
3.我沒有不尊重你,同時也謝謝你尊重我。事實上我不理解您為何説我不尊重你,第一封email全文都在講史實,也並沒有髒话等不文明行為。如果有,請詳細告知<br>
4.感謝你的建議,我不會收回我的言論,且我認為沒有什麼冒犯的問題存在,我願意為我的言論承擔責任。<br>
                          5.我不強求您回覆我的訊息,是否回覆它完全取決於您的想法。<br>
